John 15:1,4&5,... "I am the true Vine, and my Father is the Gardener. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the Vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing."
Being connected to a source is integral for life to occur and be sustained in creation.
The connections we make and nurture are important to our spiritual formation.
